Hi, appologies if this has been covered before, but my searches didn't come up with anything. I am in the process of creating a site using wordpress. (It can be seen here: http://www.adp-design-demos.com/brolim2/) However, the menu aligns with the side of the browser, rather than the content of my wordpress site. I have been through the CSS, and know where the menu CSS is, but at the moment all I've managed to do is move it by percentage.

 

Can anyone help me with the coding so that the menu appears in a fixed position regardless of window/browser size and location.

 

Cheers

 

CSS:

 

The area I have been editing:

 

	.nav_categories ul {
	width: 1000px;
	margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
}
.nav_categories a {
	display: block;
	padding: 15px;
    align: center;
	font-size: 15px;
	font-weight: bold;
	text-transform: uppercase;

	color: #fff;
}
.nav_categories li {
	float:right;
position:relative;
left:-42%;
text-align:left;

 

The whole CSS file.
